49ers DE Elvis Dumervil believes he has at least "a few years left."

Dumervil observed a quiet free agent market after struggling with injuries in 2016 but the 33-year-old still believes he has plenty left in the tank. "Mentally and physically, I feel great," Dumervil insisted. "I know I have a few years left, for sure." The five-time Pro Bowler is one sack away from 100 for his career. Jun 9 - 1:54 PM

The 49ers were Dumervil's first and only visit after he was cut by the Ravens in March. Slowed by a foot issue for much of 2016, Dumervil logged just three sacks on 272 snaps. Dumervil did create 32.5 sacks from 2013-15, but is now 33. The Sacramento Bee's Matt Barrows considers Dumervil the "lead candidate" to serve as Kyle Shanahan's "Leo" rusher. The 49ers are implementing a 4-3 system similar to Gus Bradley/Pete Carroll's. Jun 5 - 2:14 PM

Free agent DE Elvis Dumervil is working out for the 49ers.

It's the first we've heard of Dumervil since he was released by the Ravens on March 8. Now 33, Dumervil is coming off an injury-shortened season where he registered just three sacks in eight games. He would move back to defensive end in the 49ers' 4-3 defense. Jun 1 - 5:17 PM

It's been an expected move all along and will save the Ravens $6 million against the cap. Dumervil turned 33 earlier this year and has just nine total sacks over the past two seasons. A once-feared pass rusher, Dumervil is no longer dominant but still has some juice left in the tank. The money meant more to Baltimore as they look to fill other holes. The Ravens released a statement saying they "have not closed the door" on Dumervil returning. Mar 8 - 2:31 PM

49ers GM John Lynch said the team is "very pleased" with TE Vance McDonald.

The 49ers attempted to trade McDonald earlier this offseason, but Lynch praised his work in the preseason opener last week. "Even though it didn’t show up on the stat sheet, it was as good as I’ve seen him block," Lynch said. "And he competed extremely hard. We were very proud of Vance." McDonald started that game, and with rookie George Kittle dealing with a hamstring injury, he has a good shot to establish himself as the lead option.
